Damn, I hate to see, let alone post stories like this. But such is the state of Homophobia in the world.

Over the weekend the brutalized body of gay teen George Steven Lopez Mercado was found by the side of a road in Puerto Rico. The police investigator suggested that he deserved what he got because of the "type of lifestyle" he was leading.

 

According to an iReport by Chrisopher Pagan: "On November 14 the body of a gay 19 year old was found a few miles away from the town in which he was residing in called Caguas. He was a very well known person in the gay community of Puerto Rico, and very loved. He was found on the site of an isolated road in the city of Cayey, he was partially burned, decapitated, and dismembered, both arms, both legs, and the torso. This has caused a huge reaction from the gay community here, but its a difficult situation. Never in the history of Puerto Rico has a murder been classified as a hate crime. Even though we have to follow federal mandates and laws, many of the laws in which are passed in the USA such as Obama

This is unspeakable.

Here is the link to the pictures of Jorge's dismembered body...be warned the pictures are shocking, and not for the weak of stomach.

I don't think I want to see the photos. It's ghoulish IMHO.

I looked at the photos. What they did to that boy is about the most sickening thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm waiting to hear what that boy had done to deserve that. The only positive I can see is the scum who did this will never see the light of day again. I hope they are not executed for this. I hope they have to spend the rest of their lives rotting in some stinkhole of a prison.

NOTHING he could have done would have justified what they did.

Ditto. I understand the urge to look at a train wreck (I've done it many times before) but I just don't want to look at the photos either. Maybe it's a way I can avoid feeling too bad about this type of man's inhumanity to man.
